MDKSA-2004:039

Problem description

Several vulnerabilities in Midnight Commander were found by Jacub
Jelinek. This includes several buffer overflows (CAN-2004-0226), as
well as a format string issue (CAN-2004-0232), and an issue with
temporary file and directory creation (CAN-2004-0231). Most of the
included fixes are backports from CVS, done by Andrew V. Samoilov
and Pavel Roskin.
The updated packages are patched to correct these problems.
